It's made me think long and hard about the space women are permitted to occupy in public, and how this changes our perceptions of ourselves and our bodies. The book dispels the myth that women's participation in sports started in the late 20th century and highlights the precarious state of women's participation due to exclusion and male violence.

) Filled with unexpected detail and tender - but sometimes quietly furious - analysis. (But is vital reading for anyone, runner or not!
I loved this book, with its brilliant interweaving of history, memoir and feminist politics. It's also made me want to run more! Rachel encourages women to spend more time outdoors through personal narratives, academic research, and a call to action. Rachel Hewitt's "In Her Nature" was fantastic.
By rediscovering her love of running, Hewitt inspires readers to fight for their own place in the outdoors.
